PNHB Calendar for 2025 - 2026
Band Shirts
Our bands wear a black shirt for performance. We offer band shirts with our logo that you can be purchased but are not a requirement. If you missed when we took orders for black band shirts, you can check out Shaun Milne Signs (Ennismore) website – https://shaunmilnesigns.ca for clothing to purchase. They have our logo on file to apply to the garment.
Use Classrooms
Use of classrooms for sections
The Board has budgeted to pay for the use of classrooms for sections to rehearse without a coach. These will be available on the weeks a Band has coached sectionals (see calendar above) and in the hourly time slots they are not being used for coached sectionals. Email admin@pnhb.ca to request use of a classroom so we can prevent conflicts.
Use of classrooms for Ensembles
If you have an ensemble that can meet on a Monday when the Green Band does not have sectionals, you can rent a classroom for 1hr30mins for $30. Email pnhb.music@gmail.com and put in the subject “Ensemble Classroom” and include what times you are interested in booking.
Administration of the Bands
An elected volunteer Board of Directors (BOD) oversees the operation of the PNHB. Without the BOD the bands could not function. Their many responsibilities include such things as hiring our conductors and coaches, making financial decisions, setting a budget, setting fees and setting the schedule. See the "Board Director/President/Board Secretary position description" and our "By Laws" below for more information.
